King intends to disclose her plans to radio host Rhodell Lewis between 4 and 5:30 p.m., according to a news release.

King is leaving with the blessing of Long, pastor of the Lithonia Megachurch, and had been planning this move for a couple of years, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity. Attempts to reach King, Lewis and church officials on Monday were unsuccessful.

In his first public appearance since the settlement was reached, Long on Sunday made no mention of the sexual misconduct cases when he spoke from New Birth’s pulpit. Before the matter was settled, Long repeatedly denied claims made by the four men.

Too bad Bernice is leaving New Birth. In December 2004, Long and King led a 25,000 person march against gay rights and marriage equality. Would love to hear King's position on her church and pastor's settlement to (same) sexual misconduct charges.

It is a real shame that some People never really learn..If we remove all these road blocks to people loving each other,we would not have a lot of these problems...JMHO

Sorry but she has been planning this for quite sometime and this just helps her move to a new platform. Having talked to her at few events and I was told that Eddie will soon half to pack his bags and they want him out.Of course it was. And when you "talked" to Bernice, what did she say about gays?

Ms King has a long history. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know the profound lack of not coming to terms with her self impedes her full destiny and was an instigator in the charade being perpetuated there at New Birth. Her father had more indignity than to throw gays under the bus for his own gain. It would behoove Ms King to come terms with something in her own life.
